I just did some cursory reading on Belgium and you guys have a lot going on. You are per capita one of the richest countries. You have one of the lowest crime rates in Europe. While your Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and expression there are a number of constraints that we don’t have. I’m not saying that is a bad thing. I wouldn’t know what it is like to live under a Constitutional Monarchy.
I will say one thing, the tariff imposed on China was far from random. It was very strategic and given the PRC current economic situation and their reliance on the American consumers it won’t be long before they will be forced to make a deal.
Good luck to you also. It’s satisfying to exchange ideas with a level headed person from the opposite side of the world.
The monarchy is basically a cheerleader group, they are symbolic. The leader of the country is the prime minister, currently Bart De Wever.
For the EU it doesn’t matter that trump puts 20% tariffs, as long as china has higher tariffs. China sells to us, we manufacture it further, we sell it to the USA.
It doesn’t even matter that much, you folks barely have any VAT on your products. These tariffs will be a discriminatory VAT.
It’s going to hurt a lot in the short term. This is a policy that requires a steady leadership like china has. I don’t believe the USA has the structure for that. In the next elections it will be a landslide victory for the democrats. Too much chaos and uncertainty, looks like child’s play to win such an election.
Thanks for sharing. I have only one contention with what you have to say and that’s the ridiculous assertion that the Democrats will win in a landslide because of Trump’s ingenious tariff policy. Maak je een grapje? The Democrats have committed suicide and have less power than your King Philippe has. They have drifted so far left that they are a joke in terms of national politics. In the eyes of a majority of Americans, Trump rules and his popularity rises daily. Trump is making history with the imposition of tariffs on our trading partners. It is a brilliant move destined to level the playing field and bring manufacturing back home to the USA.
The Republican Party holds all the power. The presidency and both houses of Congress are dominated by the party. The complete and utter failure of the last four years and the corruption, incompetence and illegality of the Democrats has crushed them like a finished cigarette.
Stocks did quite well under Biden, so I don’t see an issue. Bottom 50% of the population gained a larger percentage of total wealth.
Why would you even want a manufacturing job? We’re paying people without education to do that. We’re paying their living costs, which is far cheaper. Then import it cheaply.
I’m only interested in the difficult jobs. Engineers never had an issue getting a job.
My mate applying for an Amazon job for minimum wage, like what. He’s wasting all his opportunity. I never worked for a minimum wage job, never will.
Anyways, I made good profit on trump’s market crash. Today’s a good day
I could, but I’d have to do research about it and it would be the most basic shit you’d already have heard 50 times.
You’d be weaker if decentralised into 50 countries, but you’d not randomly have 125% tariff on china.
Both centralisation and decentralisation have their benefits.
Well, good luck. It’s going to be turbulent for 4 years.

They are socially leftist but economically not.
